Behind The Lens

Location

In June 2014 I decided to go on vacation to the French Riviera, Italian and Switzerland. We left Stresa to visit Isola Bella. Isola Bella is one of the Borromean Islands of Lago Maggiore in north Italy. The island is situated in the Borromean Gulf 400 metres from the lakeside town of Stresa. Isola Bella is 320 metres long by 400 metres wide and is divided between the Palace, its Italianate garden, and a small fishing village. Until 1632 the island - known only as l’isola inferiore or isola di sotto - was a rocky crag occupied by a tiny fishing village: but that year Carlo III of the influential House of Borromeo began the construction of a palazzo dedicated to his wife, Isabella D'Adda from whom the island takes its name. He entrusted the works to the Milanese Angelo Crivelli, who was also to be responsible for the planning the gardens. It is in the gardens that we find beautiful flowers, trees and birds highlighting the peacocks.
